Did you seriously say "max brightness all the time" and "all features on" only to prove your point???
I mean your chinese phone must be a really really low quality phone, because you need max brightness all the time to be able to see the screen.
You should have smart argument next time, if you really want to make your chinese phone looks better.

Anonymous, 23 Jan 2023If batteries are so getting smart then why do phone compani... moreYou only have to go back a few years and there was NO company that would give 800 cycles as part of their battery health recommendation.
In fact most companies wouldn't claim anything near that, it was more like 500 cycles, heck I can remember a time when companies didn't even offer health for batteries, and it wasn't that long ago either.
And as for the 80% for 800 cycles 80% is the fullest optimal charge capacity of the battery, if you charge beyond this you run the risk of degrading the battery, and as you said it yourself, these are under lab condition, like literally everything with a disclaimer.
If you run the battery outside of its optimal parameters you will reduces its capacity and ability to hold charge.
Its longevity and charging speeds have been increased, not its capacity to charge fully to 100% without degradation

joe nodden, 23 Jan 2023First of all, the poll shows you're in the vast minori... moreOf course, your favourite chinese phone has price half of Samsung/iPhone. Reason=
1. Your chinese phone doesnt have IP68 rating
2. Still uses USB 2.0
3. Doesnt use gorilla glass victus
4. Doesnt have telephoto lenses
5. Bad software support with cheap looking UI
6. Lack of worldwide official stores
Have you even once wondered, why Samsung and Apple both have increasing percentage of marketshare of flagship every year?
The answer is simple, because Samsung and iPhone are simply better than any chinese phone, and the number of people who realize that is growing every year 👌
I hope you will find peacefulness, every time you read news about increasing sales of Samsung/iPhone, like it always does every year.🤭

In other wrds batery lost 20% of capacity in 4-5 years compared to a 2-3 years with 800 cycles.

Temperature kills your battery not charging speeds.
Phone with 200W+ will barrely heats up when battery reaches 100%.

Man please i like your funny oh style but answer me this.
Intheroy people fear fast charging because it degrades battery faster.
In practice only thing which degrade battery faster is temperature.
If a realme with 240W charging speeds tops up battery to 100% from zero in 7 minutes or within 5 minutes from lets say 30% of charge.
And within so said 5-7 minutes battery barely heats up compared to convient old painfull slow 10-20W charging speeds or apple most basic 5W/1A where people charge their phone overnight and batery reaches 30-40 maybe even 50 celsius for 6-10 hours or until you wake up.
What do you think will damage your battery more???
5-7 minutes of charging where battery will barely heats up or a 6-10 hours of charging where average temperature will be 40 celsius for 6-10 hours.
Would like to know your honest answer.
Because people here in this poll fighting for nonsense when a clearly putted question brings reasonable clear answer to solve all nionsense over 200 useless comments where minority of people ignores above said fact which is clear as bright day durring a summer months at sahara desert.

AnonD-120291, 23 Jan 2023thats not how battery charging works though, especially wit... moreIf batteries are so getting smart then why do phone companies still quote a 80 percent capacity after a 800-cycle figure ? If battery tech is really advancing then also the cycles count should increase to at least 1500-cycle after which the battery will be at 80 of it's capacity. But that doesn't happen. All that's increasing is just the speed
Also those are lab tested figures, when companies quote 80 percent after 800, actual results vary with customer use

As long as my device lasts me through 18 hours of use, I couldn't care less how fast it charges. It puzzles me that this is such a hot topic. People must really have horrendous battery endurance on their devices.

Anonymous, 23 Jan 202333W charge speed likely won't do much harm as compared... morethats not how battery charging works though, especially with new battery tech, it is regulated so that the battery only gets the full power between something like 20-80% out side of this the battery is specifically controlled not to give high power as outside of these margins are when battery damage is most likely to occur, usually at around 10% and 90% luckily batteries are smarter then most people using them.

Charging phone overnight for 8 hours eats much more electricity than doing same with xiaomi discovery which tops up battery within 10 minutes.

My battery can be at half of it's health and if I use the phone half as much then it still lasts a day. It doesn't prove or mean anything
Battery health is determined by it's mah capacity left after a certain number of full charge and discharge cycles
So do you know the figures in your phone ?

Really don't care. Good battery is far more important. I have Poco X3 Pro. I'm a heavy streaming user, but still have 20-30% battery left by 11 at night. Charger in and at 6 in the morning all over again. So, it can be 5W for all I care...
